Combined Effect of Sensory Training With Bobath Therapy in Patients With Chronic Stroke
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Chronic stroke causes moderate to severe impairments in proprioception, balance, and motor functions, which can impact upon an individual's ability to perform activities of daily living, leading to reduced quality of life and increased dependency. Proprioception, or detecting the body's position in open space, is important for balance and coordinated movement. One therapy uses traditional rehabilitation methods like Bobath theory to increase motor functions, aiming to utilize sensory and movement facilitation. Nonetheless, combining sensory and Bobath therapy could lead to superior outcomes by simultaneously addressing both the proprioceptive deficit and motor skills. The purpose of this project is to explore the combined effect of sensory training and Bobath therapy on proprioception, balance, andmotor function in chronic stroke survivors.

Interventions
Bobath Therapy
The group will repeat 10 exercises (facilitated rolling, sitting balance exercises, weight shifting in standing, functional sit-to-stand, stepping practice, reaching activities, wall slides, therapeutic ball exercises, stair climbing practice, and breathing and relaxation techniques) for 8 weeks.
Sensory Training
The group will repeat 9 exercises (texture discrimination, shape, size, and discrimination, tactile recognition, proprioception training, temperature differentiation, tactile localization, sensory mapping, sensory training through functional activities, and tabletop sensory exercises) for 8 weeks.
